There’s no easy solution for that as “above the fold” depends on where the fold is, which in turn depends on screensize. There are some tools available however, which try to identify just what is “above the fold”. This list of tools is a great starting point. [http://jonassebastianohlsson.com/criticalpathcssgenerator/](http://jonassebastianohlsson.com/criticalpathcssgenerator/) is a nice basic solution and [http://criticalcss.com/](http://criticalcss.com/) is a premium solution by the same developer.
